The Samsung Galaxy J5 features a mid range build with a cheaper SoC and reduced RAM to help bring down the costs to appeal to budget smartphone users. It’s hard to say whether the J5 fits in either the mid range or the low end camp – it’s safe to say that whilst the device offers less than the mid range J7, it still offers more than most low end handsets do. The Galaxy J5 SM-J500F is exclusive to a few regions including India, South Africa, Thailand and Hong Kong. If you live in any of these regions or know that your own J5 is the J500F variant, then make sure to read below for our guide on how to root the device.

In fact, with a bit of help from our setup guide above and access to our incredibly easy to use One Click Root software, you could have a stress free rooting experience this afternoon that could leave you with a newly rooted Samsung Galaxy J5 in no time.

Like mentioned before, the Samsung Galaxy J5 sits on the border between mid range and low end. This J series smartphone features a Snapdragon 410 SoC as it’s main driving force. On the inside, the 410 uses a quad core 1.2GHz processor and an Adreno 306 GPU, whilst outside there is 1.5GB of RAM and either 8GB or 16GB of internal storage sitting alongside the chipset. Altogether these hardware options do a good job at providing a smooth experience for the most part – TouchWiz can be a little slow at times but this is usually in cases where too many apps are being ran simultaneously and the RAM in the J5 is struggling to juggle everything at once.

Whilst the hardware may not be up to date, the software certainly is – featuring some of the latest TouchWiz features and Android 5.1 Lollipop, the Galaxy J5 is packed full of software features and overall optimizations that make the whole UI experience as smooth and intuitive as possible.
